Reduced installation costs often begin with better system design.

KNX brings lighting, heating, shading and other building functions together through one coordinated infrastructure. This can reduce duplicated cabling and controls, simplify coordination between systems and help avoid unnecessary rework during installation.

Changes can also be made through programming, giving integrators greater flexibility during commissioning and making future adaptations easier.

The result is a high-quality, flexible installation designed to perform reliably today and evolve with the building over time.

Some controls are designed to blend in. Others deserve to be noticed.

With its classic toggle and clean, architectural form, the Lithoss Designed Switches range turns an everyday switch into a considered interior detail.

Premium materials, timeless styling and carefully crafted finishes make it a natural fit for design-led residential and commercial spaces, while still delivering the smart building functionality integrators need.

As buildings become more connected, the choices made at specification stage matter long after installation.

A KNX keypad can do far more than switch a light on and off.

In this video, Amir takes a closer look at the Zennio International Tecla 55 and shows how it can be configured for lighting, scenes, blinds and room control, all from one simple interface.

He also walks through the key ETS settings and explains why planning the button layout around the user experience matters just as much as the technical setup.

Watch the full video to see how a well-configured keypad can reduce wall clutter and make everyday control feel more intuitive.

In this Ivory Egg technical video, Amir demonstrates how the Zennio...

KNX control does not need to compromise the look and feel of a space.

The MDT technologies GmbH Glass range brings together the functionality integrators need with the clean, timeless design today’s projects demand.

From glass push buttons and central control units to LED displays and matching glass frames, the range is designed to sit comfortably within a wide variety of interiors. For residential, hospitality and commercial projects, that means control points that feel considered, not added as an afterthought.

Behind the surface, there is plenty of flexibility. Sensor areas can be assigned to different KNX functions, allowing one push button to manage multiple room functions. Selected models also include an integrated temperature sensor, helping reduce the need for additional standalone devices on the wall.

The Glass Push Button II Lite offers configurable LED colours, while the Glass Push Button II Smart and Glass Central Control Unit Smart allow further personalisation through display colours and symbols.

It is a strong example of what thoughtful KNX product selection can offer: fewer devices, cleaner finishes, flexible control and a better experience for the people using the space.

At Ivory Egg, we stock and support MDT products, helping integrators specify open-standard solutions that are practical, reliable and design-led.

A team photo only shows part of the story.

What it does not show is the product knowledge, technical support, project coordination, warehouse expertise and customer care that go into helping integrators deliver better projects every day.

At Ivory Egg, we believe distribution should be about more than supplying products. It should mean practical guidance, responsive support and people who understand what is at stake when a project is moving.

That is what this team brings to the table: experience, care and a shared commitment to making open-standard building control easier to specify, buy and deliver.
